What is the first step in the firing sequence of a modern firearm?

  1. Pulling the trigger

  2. Ignition of the primer

  3. Loading the firearm

  4. Ejection of the cartridge

The correct answer is: Pulling the trigger

In a modern firearm, the first step in the firing sequence is pulling the trigger. When the trigger is pulled, it releases the hammer or firing pin, which then strikes the primer on the cartridge. This ignites the primer, creating a spark that ignites the gunpowder inside the cartridge, causing the bullet to be fired down the barrel of the gun. Loading the firearm, ignition of the primer, and ejection of the cartridge occur after pulling the trigger in the firing sequence.
